[Rose is lying diagonally across her bed when the video comes up. She looks a bit preoccupied.]

City's quiet again. Always interestin' to see who shows up though. Anybody have someone from home stay this time?

Depends how you view the soul, I should imagine.

[iwasherefirst]

I guess. Separatin' parts of yourself just sounds like a bad idea, yeah?

audio.

[feigns]

Generally speaking. I'm rather fond of being whole and in one piece, personally.

[iwasherefirst]

(he gets a big grin.)

Yeah, me too. Function better that way. M'Rose, what's your name?

audio.

[feigns]

William Herondale. [ a beat. ] Will.

Re: audio.

[iwasherefirst]

S'a pleasure to meet you, Will.

So is immortality just a myth in your world?

audio.

[feigns]

Likewise, Rose.

—No. It's not. [ a wry smile which may or may not be evident in the tone of his voice. ] Though I dare say Koschei the Deathless with his needles and eggs and island were.

Re: audio.

[iwasherefirst]

So what's the truth about it?

audio.

[feigns]

The truth is that most are unaware of immortality, bar those that have it and those that spend time in the company of those with it. [ a pause, and then: ] Warlocks and vampires, mostly.

audio.

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah. Used to be one of those majority. [She pauses, fidgeting a moment.] Guess there's not much way to gain immortality in those cases then.

audio.

[feigns]

Why do you want immortality?

audio.

[iwasherefirst]

My...[And a pause because it sounds ridiculous to say she wants to be immortal because her boyfriend is. It sounds trivial.] Doctor is practically immortal. M'not.
